AFAIK, A&S never cut for the Duke. Bad example.

I believe that's why some parties like to spell it "****." I'm not sure, though. In any case, I'd be happy to petition the Pink Dolphin Society to officially return the word to your camp, much as Hong Kong was returned to China after a designated period of time. Nevertheless, deep down I feel like your camp and my camp might be the same camp, so to whom would we really be returning the word? I also just want to make sure that FNB isn't included anywhere in the negotiations. He's like the "stylemeup" of fabulosity.

Actually, HK was granted to the Brits in perpetuity. Kowloon was on a 99 year lease which ended in 1997. The ChiComs made clear in the early '80s, that when the lease was up, they were not going to renew. Since HK cannot survive without Kowloon (no water on HK Island, for instance), the Brits had no choice but to make a deal.

What this has to do with anything I have no idea.

I'm pretty sure that Orientals don't drink water, so manton's HK theory is bunk.

I refer, of course, to True Orientals, and not to, say, George Takei or the dudes who used to play Charlie Chan.

Is that a short front balance or is it just me?

Yes. But not if it's fizzy, and only with ice.
